What is HS code 740319?
HS code 740319 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought : Refined copper : Other". The first two digits (74) are the chapter — Copper and articles thereof — and digits 3-4 (7403) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 740319?
Common products classified under 740319 include copper ingots, copper slabs, copper cakes, unwrought copper and similar items matching refined copper. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 740319?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 740319 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (740319) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
Is HSN code 740319 the same as HS code 740319?
Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 740319 covers the same "refined copper" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
